Howdy -
I'm brand new here, real name's Sam. I'm 72, retired, single and loving it, although I do have a wonderful GF who has put up with me for the last 8 years. I'm an Air Force vet from the Viet Nam years. I spent two years in Germany, where I picked up a knife that I brought back. It's got bone handles, which is the crux of my post.
I had a roach problem at my first house, and roaches got into the drawer where I had this knife and ate holes in the bone handles. I've been trying to come up with a way to repair them short of just replacing the scales, which I don't want to do. I'm looking for suggestions on how I can repair these scales so that they at least don't look so bad. I attached a couple of pics to illustrate the damage.
Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated!
